with the newly released homophobic video by the wts, it gets clearer that those people can't stop shooting themselves in the foot.
they are already under examination and de facto trial by the australian committee; more and more people and officials in western democracies inquire into their abusive tactics and put them under the microscope, and what do they do?
they release a video which confirms those worries.

Pete Zahut15 hours agoI'm not condoning the video here but I think it's safe to say that most people (including JW's) realize that there must be something positive about being gay otherwise so many wouldn't risk life and limb to pursue that life.
When did you decide to pursue a straight life? Time and date would be great thanks.
may 2, 2016 to all congregations in the united states branch territory re: entrance time at regional conventions.
there is no typical jw personality type.. any of us who were in the religion for a number of years will remember all sorts of individuals.
there is as much variety among jws as there is in the general population.
some were arrogant and judgemental but others were humble and kindly.
gosh elbib - see the thread title for details of what is being discussed here...

How to make posts
The absolute basics ...
Posts must be on-topic
In this forum, we discuss many different topics and it helps if any comments made on a topic are about that topic and not attempts to derail the discussion.
i've seen this weekend's uk branch visit mentioned a few times.
for those who are interested, here is the programme:-.
1:00 pm song 63 & prayer - p. gillies.
I am sad that religion and spirituality are so tritely interchangeable.
good luck for those 3 hours...
i booked a double appointment so that she wouldn't be rushed.
i explained that i'd been brought up in the jw's and woken up to what a load of shite it was.
i explained that they have changed the blood card and that the elders in the cong are being told to effectively force people into signing it.
I think I stopped signing them about 10 years before I left, which in itself is close to 10 years ago now.
I think you can reasonably stall by saying you aren't signing something you don't understand. Make a few appointments to have it explained to you, cancel them beforehand, re-book etc and eventually they will leave it. If push comes to shove delay further by saying you are going to discuss with your doctor, lawyer etc.
i'm quite new to this site, & have realised some members have a union jack symbol under their avatar.
i don't.. could we have a "show of hands" from any uk members?
i've already found several by reading older posts..
the april 4th issue contains a very well-written and insightful article about the jws: "god's work" by kevin canty.
it's fiction, but on the money as far as the experience of an adolescent reconciling the beliefs with his natural biological urges.
boy, could i relate!
hi all.. so i got a txt today from a very proud mum claiming that, the jw cart produced 300 book and magazine placements.
mostly from foreign speakers.. the shard is the tallest building in the uk.
this is where the cart was placed.. not a bad day they had really.
As a London commuter (go past the Shard twice a day as it happens) I really struggle with this 300 in 2 hours. Given that all our reports basically speak to the same thing - carts in busy areas but little to zero actual engagement - its improbable.
I also used to see the carts outside Charing Cross Station at peak times, but these have disappeared in the last few months. The JW's there were competing with the following:
City AM
Time Out
Gym Membership freebies
Free product trial offers - meal replacement bars etc
The homeless guy selling Big Issue
The homeless guy who has wet himself (again)
Actual real charities - Breast Cancer day etc...
I wouldn't be surprised if Westminster Council told the JW's to sling their hook as it was becoming a road traffic safety issue with thousands of commuters fighting their way through all the 'offers' to cross one of the busiest roads in central London.

I was just surprised they gave me the 300 I asked for :-)
the chelmsford project in the uk has already come to a halt and every one has been sent home.
the bethel family in london is to be cut by several hundred.
my impression is that most ambitious youngster in the org dream of being involved with the building program.
my mole from the inside tells me plans for a gym there have been ditched
@jookbeard - its obviously not working out...
